| - [D.W. HUMS] Arthur: [GASPS] MOM!! D.W.'s drawing in my book! Mo-om! Stop her! D.W.: They forgot the colors, so I'm putting it in. Arthur: They're suppose to be that way. Sometimes I imagine how great life would be if D.W. was different. Like if she were more like the Brain. D.W.: I'll do that homework for you. All done. Let's play ball. Arthur: Or more like the Bionic Bunny. D.W.: # Te-dah! # I'll take you to get air! Put your helmet on! Arthur: I'd even like her better if she were more like a donkey. D.W.: HEE-HAW! Arthur: Giddy up, D.W.! GO! GO! D.W.: HEE-HAW! Buster: Boy, I wish I had a sister who was a donkey like D.W. Arthur: ANY change would be an improvement. [SMASH!] [INTERTITLE] [KATE GIGGLES, ARTHUR MOANS] Jane: Something wrong, honey? Arthur: I'm bored. None of my friends can play. Jane: Why don't you go play with D.W.? D.W.: [SHE SIGHS] Arthur: ..HUH?! I'm not THAT desperate! Well...only if she promises not to be annoying. D.W.: I won't do anything that's annoying. If I'm even a little teeny tiny tiny eany-weeniest bit annoying tell me and I'll stop, because I don't wanna be annoying. Arthur: OK. OK! D.W.: (Please notice that I'm not being annoying.) Arthur: Bottom of the ninth. Arthur Read is one out away from pitching a perfect game. [SQUEAKING] Arthur: Huh?! What are you doing? D.W.: It's Princess Sneeze'n'Wet's turn to bat. Arthur: N-O! NO!! There are no babies in baseball! D.W.: What if they were really good? This is America, Arthur. Everybody gets an equal chance. Arthur: Why do I even try to play with you? Go play with Kate! You're such a baby! D.W.: Am not! Arthur: Well, you ACT like it! D.W.: Do not! Can Kate do this? Whoa-a-a...! D.W.: Don't change that channel! Arthur: I have to watch Bionic Bunny. It's the back-to-back special award-winning three-part episode. Where he travels through time to fight the evil...mechanical cave...Bunnysaurus. D.W.: Mary Moo-Cow was just explaining green. Jane: Excuse me. I'm on the phone. D.W.: Arthur's trying to stop me from watching educational TV. Arthur: It's time for the back-to-back special award-... D.W.: How I am ever supposed to understand green? Jane: Who got here first? Arthur: [FRUSTRATED SNARLING] D.W.: YOU don't like doing anything with me any more! Arthur: Because you like boring things. I wish you wanted to do interesting things. More like me. D.W.: THEN you'd wanna play with me? Arthur: Sure. David: I've got your favorite, D.W. Banana and peanut butter. D.W.: Yum! Arthur: I want watermelon. D.W.: I want watermelon too. David: Wanna go on the swings, D.W.? D.W.: YEAH! Arthur: Wanna play catch with us, Dad? D.W.: I do! D.W.: Oops. Arthur: [GROANS] The Bionic Bunny Show! The Bionic Bunny Show Narrator: Created by super-science and radical animal husbandry to fight crime, Bionic Bunny hops into action for goodness sake. Bionic Bunny: The room's filling with water! I'll drown unless I drink it all. Arthur: Are you gonna watch that? D.W.: Uh-huh. Arthur: What about Mary Moo-Cow? D.W.: That's a kiddie show. # Bo-ring! # Arthur: [SNARLING] Arthur: That was great! D.W.: That was great! Aren't you gonna stay and watch Foreign Metallic Spelunking Squad? Arthur: OK. Do you want some ice cream? D.W.: Yeah. Jane: I hope you two aren't fighting over the TV. Arthur: No. D.W.'s finally got good taste. D.W.: I'm gonna try on my new clothes. How do you like them, Arthur? I picked them out myself. Arthur: Don't you already HAVE clothes like that? D.W.: No. Arthur: They look familiar... Bionic Bunny: I call THAT my built-in escape CLAWS! Arthur: Do YOU even know what that means? D.W.: Of course. (Boys, including Binky, screaming in the boys toilet) Arthur: Stop doing everything I do! D.W.: We just happen to be interested in the same things. Arthur: Hi, guys! I'll go get my bike. D.W.: Hi, guys! I'll go get my bike. Buster: Am I seeing double? Francine: Was that Arthur's sister? Brain: Or a frightening scientific experiment gone horribly wrong. Buster: Arthur, what's with D.W.? Arthur: She has to come with me. Mom and Dad are shopping. Buster: No, I meant the... (mimics D.W. wearing glasses) Arthur: Are those my old glasses? D.W.: No. I punched the lenses out of my sunglasses. Buster: Why is D.W. dressed like you? Arthur: I don't know. She's driving me crazy. Buster: Last to the Sugar Bowl is a henway! D.W.: Arthur, wait for me! Buster: You're last, Arthur! You're a henway. Arthur: What's a henway? Buster: About five pounds. D.W.: Wait for me! Arthur: We're going to get a table. Binky: Hi, Arthur! Hi, Arthur. ..Huh?! Oh, there's TWO of you! Sugar Bowl Waitress: Do you want a baby seat? D.W.: THAT would be a thoughtful thing to ask...(Imitating Arthur) IF THERE WAS A BABY HERE!! Arthur: I wish you'd cut it out, D.W. You just look weird. Binky: You can't fool me, Arthur. There can't be TWO of you! ..Who's this? Arthur: I'M Arthur. THAT's my sister! Binky: You look like a ring-tailed doofus! Arthur: I've been trying to tell her that. Binky: Those are the goofiest clothes and shoes and glasses I ever saw! Arthur: Hey! Arthur: Mom, Dad, can we move and not tell D.W. where we're going? David: No. Why? Arthur: She's driving me crazy. It's like having a twin or an extra shadow or a really weird little sister who follows me everywhere. Yesterday, I heard the kids talking... Muffy: Don't tell Arthur. Everyone's invited to my house to swim. Buster: Why NOT tell Arthur? Francine: Because his sister, Arthur Jr. will tag along. David: Maybe you should tell D.W. how you feel. Arthur: Me? Why can't YOU? Jane: This is between the two of YOU. Arthur: I guess you're right. Tommy: Wanna come over and watch our video? Timmy: Vegetables Sing The ABCs. It's the sequel to Freddie Fruit Counts By Twos. D.W.: No, that's for babies. Tommy: It's not. They sing them backwards, too. [THE TIBBLES DEMONSTRATE] D.W.: No, I'm playing soccer with Arthur. Tommy: Sounds boring. D.W.: Yeah... I-I mean no. It's grown-up. Timmy: Eugh! Tommy: Eugh! Arthur: D.W.. You don't even like the things I do. Why don't you give us both a break and stop copying me! D.W.: You mean you think I should do the things I like? Arthur: Yes! Exactly! D.W.: Instead of the interesting things YOU like? Arthur: OK, OK. Sorry I said everything you like is boring. D.W.: So you'll still play with me sometimes? Arthur: Sure. D.W.: Finally, I can change these clothes. And MOM said I can watch Mary Moo-Cow every day for as many days as YOU watched Bionic Bunny. [PAL WHIMPERS] Arthur: Why do I feel like I got tricked? [PAL BARKS]
